Weekend Events in Delhi |Temperatures have dropped; a crisp nip in the air stings the skin, and Delhi has put on a single light layer to fend off the chill.

Whether you want to groove at a music concert, dash out impromptu for a film screening one evening, or be in receipt of a lavish meal, the capital has it all. Here’s Outlook Traveller’s curated list of the top events to explore in the city this weekend.

Black Cube Gallery in New Delhi will present 'Threads of Tradition', a solo exhibition of new works by renowned modern artist Thota Vaikuntam. Known for his vivid portrayals of rural Telangana, Vaikuntam now reimagines his iconic figures through intricate silk zardozi embroidery created in collaboration with the Shams family of Agra, master craftsmen with a centuries-old lineage. Using hand-embroidered velvet embellished with gemstones, the works translate his saturated colours, stylised forms, and ornate detailing into richly textured, three-dimensional pieces that blur the line between painting and textile art. The exhibition offers a fresh chapter in Vaikuntam’s practice, uniting modern Indian figuration with time-honoured craftsmanship to celebrate cultural memory, traditional artistry, and the enduring spirit of Telangana.
